Hi William,
I am trying to understand what you are doing.
Interfering means that either one of the cube or the file does not work ?
what's your seen behaviour ?
I am not used to path or file but I believe it should be the
current name of the script, but this does not exist.
The used python script in openscad is just a string and does not have a
filename(python does not know the path of your editor console)
Did you intend to write new content to the script file while you execute it
?
Cheers

Experimenting a bit more, the following sort of worked:
import os
h = 1
w = 2
d = 3
fn = os.path.basename(name)
string = ("cube" + str(w) + str(d) + str(h))
f = open(fn, "a")
f.write(string)
cube([w,d,h]).output()
f.close()
but I'm still mystified as to why:
fn = os.path.basename(file)
didn't work.

I am not used to __path__ or __file__ but I believe it should be the
current name of the script, but this does not exist.
